Honky Tonk Blues - 1949 Version

Well, I left my home down on the rural route
I told my folks I'm going steppin' out
And get the honky tonk blues
The weary honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Well, I stopped into every place in town
This city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I'm suffering
With the honky tonk blues

I went to a dance, I wore out my shoes
Woke up this morning wishin' I could lose
Them jumpin' honky tonk blues
The weary honky tonk blues
Oh Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And get right back to my pappy's farm
And leave these honky tonk blues
The jumpin'honky tonk blues
'Cause Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues
